Scientific research shows that the body does not know the difference between real or fake laughter. So, while the laughter often is initially forced, it soon becomes real due to eye contact and the...2022-08-0355 min

Journey to Inner Practical WisdomCuriosity and RepetitionThis episode may seem repetitious to you…and we often don’t like repetition. That is probably because the word repeat has been associated with repeating work in school when we didn’t get it! It doesn’t carry a very pleasing meaning.

Repeat comes from the prefix Re- meaning ‘go back’, and ‘peat’ from the Latin “petere” which means ‘to seek’. When we repeat something, the purpose is to go back and seek or l...2022-02-1622 min
